chore(3p/git): Unvendor git and track patches instead r/2903
This was vendored a long time ago under the expectation that keeping
it in sync with cgit would be easier this way, but it has proven not
to be a big issue.

On the other hand, a vendored copy of git is an annoying maintenance
burden. It is much easier to rebase the single (dottime) patch that we
have.

This removes the vendored copy of git and instead passes the git
source code to cgit via `pkgs.srcOnly`, which includes the applied
patch so that cgit can continue rendering dottime.

-Git v2.3.1 Release Notes
-========================
-
-Fixes since v2.3
-----------------
-
- * The interactive "show a list and let the user choose from it"
-   interface "add -i" used showed and prompted to the user even when
-   the candidate list was empty, against which the only "choice" the
-   user could have made was to choose nothing.
-
- * "git apply --whitespace=fix" used to under-allocate the memory
-   when the fix resulted in a longer text than the original patch.
-
- * "git log --help" used to show rev-list options that are irrelevant
-   to the "log" command.
-
- * The error message from "git commit", when a non-existing author
-   name was given as value to the "--author=" parameter, has been
-   reworded to avoid misunderstanding.
-
- * A broken pack .idx file in the receiving repository prevented the
-   dumb http transport from fetching a good copy of it from the other
-   side.
-
- * The documentation incorrectly said that C(opy) and R(ename) are the
-   only ones that can be followed by the score number in the output in
-   the --raw format.
-
- * Fix a misspelled conditional that is always true.
-
- * Code to read branch name from various files in .git/ directory
-   would have misbehaved if the code to write them left an empty file.
-
- * The "git push" documentation made the "--repo=<there>" option
-   easily misunderstood.
-
- * After attempting and failing a password-less authentication
-   (e.g. kerberos), libcURL refuses to fall back to password based
-   Basic authentication without a bit of help/encouragement.
-
- * Setting diff.submodule to 'log' made "git format-patch" produce
-   broken patches.
-
- * "git rerere" (invoked internally from many mergy operations) did
-   not correctly signal errors when told to update the working tree
-   files and failed to do so for whatever reason.
-
- * "git blame HEAD -- missing" failed to correctly say "HEAD" when it
-   tried to say "No such path 'missing' in HEAD".
-
-Also contains typofixes, documentation updates and trivial code clean-ups.
